[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 8185574, member: 91461"]Cool coin! And perfect timing!! I just finished rehabbing this poor recently unearthed Celtic coin: I'm glad you recognize the signs of BD and acted swiftly. Due to mine coming from Europe, it took additional damage waiting to get in my loving arms. I gave her the usual, few days in distilled water, light scrub with a soft bristled toothbrush that's been cut down (toothpick for those green spots that don't want to go away) repeat. Once no green is visible a trip to the oven on its lowest setting (350 degrees) for 45 minutes. And once it's cooled down it sits in verdi care for a day. This one just finished drying off today: [ATTACH=full]1431925[/ATTACH] SENONS (region of Sens) (2nd - 1st centuries BC) Gossip with helmeted head and ringlet c. before 52 AC. 17.7mm Obv: Stylized helmeted head on the left between two globules; the eye is globulated. Rev: Horse or ibex with forked tail passing left; between the legs, a linear circle. Unearthed Dec 2021 Burgundy region of France Not beautiful. At all. But at least a rare and recognizable Celtic and hopefully fit to last another couple millenia.[/QUOTE]
